on [Em]the waves that [G]sully the hori[C]zon

[Verse 2]
So [C]close your eyes
and think [G]of England
That boat [Em]afloat on [G]the ocean
sets my spine a-tingling
[C]So So let the [Bm]boys brigade
[C]be singing[G][Em][C]
Close [G]your eye[Em] s[C]

The coast[Bm]guard have been [C]drinking
[Bm]Nobody had an [C]inkling
Cos they closed their [G]eye[Em] s[C]
Close [G]your eye[Em]s.
